Appliance of domestic cool

Share via

Domestic appliances may well be the least glamorous devices in the home, but
Miele has a good try at making them as sexy and desirable as possible.

Perhaps the cutest. or the most ridiculous, feature of its new Generation 6000
range is the handleless dishwasher that opens with — wait for it — two
knocks on the door. A close second is the built-in coffee maker that senses
the height of the cup and automatically lowers the spout appropriately. Then
again, when you’re paying anything up to £2,500 for a coffee maker, perhaps
a little wizardry is in order.
